I have installed my first application which consists if a good many separate
programs(200+). They are installed on 6 computers at the customers site all
using
ODBC connecions to the data on a server. How would you have installed the
software? I'm discovering when I now do updates I have to copy the revised
programs to each of the 6 computers (along with control files) using remote
disktop on Windows XP. Not too bad here, but if the number of computers gets
larger then the problem grows.
If you have experience doing this, alternate suggestions on setting this up
would be appreciated.

Wow...200+? The easiest way you can do this is by using InstallShield which
has a cool automatic update feature that will update all of the computers by
accessing the net.
You could always code a simple update program that retrieves the files from
a central server (maybe on a lan or net), and update each computer
automatically.
Both are fairly simple to do...
